We consider cut-elimination in the sequent calculus for classical first-order logic. It is well known that this system, in its most general form, is neither confluent nor strongly normalizing. In this work we take a coarser (and…

We study propositional and first-order G\"odel logics over infinitary languages which are motivated semantically by corresponding interpretations into the unit interval [0,1]. We provide infinitary Hilbert-style calculi for the particular…

Cut-elimination theorems constitute one of the most important classes of theorems of proof theory. Since Gentzen's proof of the cut-elimination theorem for the system $\mathbf{LK}$, several other proofs have been proposed. Even though the…

There exists a family $\{B_{\alpha}\}_{\alpha<\omega_1}$ of sets of countable ordinals such that o $\max B_{\alpha}=\alpha$, o if $\alpha\in B_{\beta}$ then $B_{\alpha}\subseteq B_{\beta}$, o if $\lambda\leq \alpha$ and $\lambda$ is a limit…

We introduce and study a new type of compactness principle for strong logics that, roughly speaking, infers the consistency of a theory from the consistency of its small fragments in certain outer models of the set-theoretic universe. We…

Suppose we are given a computably enumerable object arise from algorithmic randomness or computable analysis. We are interested in the strength of oracles which can compute an object that approximates this c.e. object. It turns out that,…

In arXiv:2208.12944 it is shown that an ordinal $\sup_{N<\omega}\psi_{\Omega_{1}}(\varepsilon_{\Omega_{\mathbb{S}+N}+1})$ is an upper bound for the proof-theoretic ordinal of a set theory ${\sf KP}\ell^{r}+(M\prec_{\Sigma_{1}}V)$. In this…

Building on work of Maltsev on locally free algebras in finite purely functional languages, we revisit the model theory of (absolutely free) term algebras and their completions. Maltsev's analysis yields a natural axiomatization together…

We discuss some well-known compactness principles for uncountable structures of small regular sizes ($\omega_n$ for $2 \le n<\omega$, $\aleph_{\omega+1}$, $\aleph_{\omega^2+1}$, etc.), consistent from weakly compact (the size-restricted…

We propose a generalization of first-order logic originating in a neglected work by C.C. Chang: a natural and generic correspondence language for any types of structures which can be recast as Set-coalgebras. We discuss axiomatization and…

We deal with the existence of universal members in a given cardinality for several classes. First we deal with classes of Abelian groups, specifically with the existence of universal members in cardinalities which are strong limit singular…

Let $L$ be the language of rings. We provide an axiomatization of the $L$-theories of quaternions and octonions and characterize their models: they coincide, up to isomorphism, with quaternion and octonion algebras over a real closed field,…

The compactness theorem for a logic states, roughly, that the satisfiability of a set of well-formed formulas can be determined from the satisfiability of its finite subsets, and vice versa. Usually, proofs of this theorem depend on the…

We prove that, for any natural number n $\ge$ 1, we can find a finite alphabet $\Sigma$ and a finitary language L over $\Sigma$ accepted by a one-counter automaton, such that the $\omega$-power L $\infty$ := {w 0 w 1. .. $\in$ $\Sigma$…

We prove that many seemingly simple theories have Borel complete reducts. Specifically, if a countable theory has uncountably many complete 1-types, then it has a Borel complete reduct. Similarly, if $Th(M)$ is not small, then $M^{eq}$ has…

Godel's First Incompleteness Theorem is generalized to definable theories, which are not necessarily recursively enumerable, by using a couple of syntactic-semantic notions, one is the consistency of a theory with the set of all true…

This paper explores the connection between two central results in the proof theory of classical logic: Gentzen's cut-elimination for the sequent calculus and Herbrands "fundamental theorem". Starting from Miller's expansion-tree-proofs, a…

We introduce two notions of effective reducibility for set-theoretical statements, based on computability with Ordinal Turing Machines (OTMs), one of which resembles Turing reducibility while the other is modelled after Weihrauch…

We introduce a notion of Kripke model for classical logic for which we constructively prove soundness and cut-free completeness. We discuss the novelty of the notion and its potential applications.

Given sets $\Phi_1=\{\phi_{11},...,\phi_{1u(1)}\}, ...,\Phi_{z}=\{\phi_{z1},...,\phi_{zu(z)}\}$ of boolean formulas, a formula $\omega$ follows from the conjunction $\bigwedge\Phi_i= \bigwedge \phi_{ij}$ iff $\neg \omega\wedge…
